everything is open source except half of all things.

Lol

Because task starting is legit hard and I don’t think it needs some mystical explanation. The way to adress this is to break it town to small tasks and start at it. When I start my remote software engineers work day I start with a checklist to what I want to do - thats already first tiny task that sets me into work mood. Then make the first points easy loke “check email x”, “check website Y” etc.

It’s important to be descriptive with your tasks and just don’t write “check all emails” because those are demotivating and tiring just looking at it. Use multiple points of “check customer X emails”, “check email replies”.

Ive been working remotely for over 20 years so I’m very familiar with this issue and this tip is the best one I can give!

Has US nationalized anything this millenia? I really don’t see that ever happening

Yes and you should embrace this. Being cosmopolitan is truly freeing!

We live in a world where you can be anywhere you want within a day and not only that but be freely adopted to new cultures. Go to Mexico, Chile, Thailand, Japan - you can really live almost everywhere these days and be somewhat accepted as you are and partake in any societal activities. Contemporary people are really accepting despite what bait social media tries to portray.

There are also a lot of cosmopolitan peoples today and you’ll find them in every country be it expats or people who simply have a mindset of belonging to the entire world rather than their national identity. It’s a rapidly growing culture so try it out!

For recommendations try Asia which is opposite of German directness. In the west it’s called “face saving culture” but more importantly Asian social interactions favor friction removal and respect for another human being over detail and accuracy which even shows in Asian languages which are much more implicit than German explicitness. Try Thailand or Vietnam - great places if you have the temperance to limit partying loops and just prioritize exploration and growth. It’s very accessible to any 20 year old European.

As for US I don’t recommend it. I’m a big fan of US still but the vibe right now is not one you want to be surrounded in. Maybe wait 10 years for that - its not going anywhere (hopefully lol).

Because autocracy cannot sustain conflict of ideas. It was just a matter of time as every political scientist said 6 months ago.

People are quick to burn Youtube here when its clearly the american copyright reach that causes this.

I don’t think it’s everyone either - just a very vocal minority.

RAG on 2 pages of text does not hallucinate anything though. I literally use it every day.

I’m genuonely confused how is that even possible in a developed country such as US. Do people not read at all? As in an article or gossip magazine - all of those would get you there.

Is it just country side folk drinking beer and watching fox news? It can’t be 50% of all people. How.

AI threads on lemmy are always such a disappointment.

Its ironic that people put so little thought into understanding this and complain about “ai slop”. The slop was in your heads all along.

To think that more accessibility for a project that is all about sharing information with people to whom information is least accessible is a bad thing is just an incredible lack of awareness.

Its literally the opposite of everything people might hate AI for:

• RAG is very good and accurate these days that doesn’t invent stuff. Especially for short content like wiki articles. I work with RAG almost every day and never seen it hallucinate with big models.
• it’s open and not run a “big scary tech”
• it’s free for all and would save millions of editor hours and allow more accuracy and complexity in the articles themselves.

And to top it all you know this is a lost fight even if you’re right so instead of contributing to steering this societal ship these people cover their ears and “bla bla bla we don’t want it”. It’s so disappointingly irresponsible.

Do you give toddlers post-grad books to read too? This is such an idiotic slippery slope fallacy that it just reeks of white people privilege.

This ignorance is my biggest pet peeve today. Wikipedia is not targeting you with this but expanding accessibility to people who don’t have the means to digest a complex subject on their lunch break.

TL;DR: check your privilege

Never use a case but always use a screen protector as replacing the screen often costs almost as much as a new phone.

Samsung tab a9 is legit good and its 8" and costs like 100$. I use it as an e-reader with a matte screen protector and it’s awesome!

Its not even about taxes but straight up class warfare. Lately billionaires noticed that they are not as untouchable as they thought they were and now they’re aligned to fix this.

Isn’t that how all ranking works everywhere? How else can it rank sources?

Real answer: there are many existing tools and databases for domain authority.

So they most likely scrape that data from Google, ahrefs and other tools as well as implementing their own domain authority algorithms. Its really not that difficult given sufficient resources.

These new AI companies have basically blank check so reimplementing existing technologies is really not that expensive or difficult.

Inb4 “The satellites are beaming mind control into your head”

As someone who wrote their CS thesis on networks I find starlink infuriating. Its such a terrible option that basically persists through memes and highly niche use anecdotes.

You can literally cover entire landmass of earth with fiber and cell towers for pennies on a dollar what low orbit satellites would get you.

Not to mention is objectively better technology which we would have to setup anyways if we want low latency networks and why wouldn’t we want that in the future? There are countless benefits to reduced latency so it’s really unavoidable. Now some want to prioritize worse technology when it’s at peak cost. It’s so fucking stupid.

That’s what really drives me - if all fails you can always become a Cynic and live in a cardboard box country 🙂‍↕️
